In XSLT 2.0 you can write:
<xsl:element name="{if ($id != @id) then 'sc:link' else 'strong'}">
<sc:text field="headline" />
</xsl:element>
But in 1.0 you have to put up with a certain amount of verbosity.

Subject: [xsl] Alternative to xsl:choose?
The basic difference in these two conditions is that the
first executes the
sc:link extension and outputs the result, the second simply
outputs the
strong tag. It seems like there should be an
easier/shorter/less redundant
way to code this - any suggestions?
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$id != @id">
<sc:link><sc:text field="headline" /></sc:link>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<strong><sc:text field="headline" /></strong>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
